Heartfelt floral tributes and messages have been left at the scene of an accident where a man died in a collision involving two lorries on the A47 at Scarning.

The accident took place on a straight section of road between the A1075 and A1065 at around 8.30am on Thursday, February 1.

A male passenger in one of the lorries died at the scene, while both drivers sustained minor injuries.

One of the messages left for the yet unnamed victim read: “We are so so sorry that this happened.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones. Rest in peace.”

Other well wishers also left comments to pay tribute to the man.

The road was closed until just after 7pm on Thursday. Norfolk Police posted on Twitter that officers had assisted in a “complex recovery operation” and a crane was needed to remove the vehicles.

One of the vehicles involved was operated by delivery company, DHL.

A spokesperson for the company said: “We are cooperating fully with police in their investigation. While this is underway we are unable to comment further, except to confirm that the safety of the public remains of paramount importance to the company.”
